Keep Cincinnati Beautiful teamed up with the University of Cincinnati's "Into the Streets" Volunteer event to help turn around the neighborhood.

The areas of town that have the most blight and litter also have the most crime.

"They've been experiencing a slight rise in crime and blight issues. and what we want to do is come in, clean up the neighborhood, paint some buildings, and just in general revitalize the neighborhood," volunteer coordinator Brooke Lehenbauer said.
